BangokTraffic

22 FEBRUARY 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Traffic on Phaya Thai at Thanon Rama I (Thanon is the Thai word for Street). Bangkok is notorious for gridlock and traffic jams. It has only 80 kilometers (less than 50 miles) of light rail mass transit, Seoul, South Korea, by comparison, has 280 kilometers of commuter light rail. Bangkok's traffic problems have been worsened by the government's "first car" initiative which subsidized the purchase of cars for families that previously couldn't afford one. That progam alone put more than one million new cars on the roads countrywide. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
